Notes

  • Coconut Rice: unsweetened coconut milk used in this recipe is different from the refrigerated coconut milk for drinking. 
  • Amount of Salt: If you're enjoying the coconut rice with strong-flavored dishes, use ¼ tsp of salt. But, if you're enjoying it on its own or with light flavors, use ½ tsp of salt to further enhance the flavors. Anything over ½ tsp of salt will be too salty.
  • Softer Rice: use more unsalted chicken stock (add in ¼ cup intervals) and adjust accordingly.
